Veronica Mary: November 2007
http://veronicacollins.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 25, 2007. Acedia: the absence of caring. I was at a book launch the other week, listening to Kathleen Norris speak on the lost meaning of Advent. She centered her talk around a long-forgotten word the desert fathers used: acedia. The word literally means "the absence of caring." Norris said the concept was originally one of the seven deadly sins, but became subsumed under the more one-dimensional word "sloth.". And the way out of acedia? But the motivation to do so? If one waits, if one ...

Blink your eyes 1 for yes 2 for no. June 27, 2008. All quiet on the Western front. It’s been awhile, I know. But the newspapers have been rather silent, as far as my interests go, and so I’ve been completely unmotivated to write. Plus, I’ve been reading a helluva lot lately–books, that is–and it’s kept me more than occupied. When will the BC Human Rights Tribunal finally make a decision? It’s not like they haven’t been active (see this article here. 8230; but more on that later. On June 27, 2008.

Blink your eyes 1 for yes 2 for no. September 29, 2008. Thanks to a certain RELS 465 class I’ve been going to on Wednesday evenings, I have found myself reacquainted with Blaise Pascal and his brilliance. Here are just a few aphorisms from the Pensees:. 253 Two extremes: to exclude reason, to admit reason only. 280 The knowledge of God is very far from the love of him. Laquo; we have a piano now.

Veronica Mary: June 2009
http://veronicacollins.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 7, 2009. To the Women of my "Vida". I was on the treadmill at my women-only gym, noticing with relief that the TV wasn’t turned to another real estate show. Instead, a calypso beat filled my headphones as soon as I plugged them in, rhythmically pattering alongside my feet on the track. 8221;). The women were writing, practicing, recording – and taking their creation on the road to Toronto. You can hear the dancers before you see them, the lines of women tapping a strong, measured flamenco fr...

Veronica Mary: June 2008
http://veronicacollins.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2008. Most of the day I spend chilled. Chilled by the many megawatts. Of energy it takes to push too-cold air through a vent installed amid the tastefully-beige ceiling panels. The massive and expensive system of vents, shafts and pipes that snakes around within my multi-story office building always succeeds in leaving us too cold or too hot, with too much of a draft or no oxygen at all. Conversation around the lunch room and in the elevator circles around this obsession. A sudden convic...

Veronica Mary: Dance with Necessity
http://veronicacollins.blogspot.com/2009/03/dance-with-necessity.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. Afterwards, there will be the pool of lamp's light and the pages to write in. The questions will emerge again from the evening's shadows, but less threatening than in the noonday glare, tamed by the affirmation of life that is this: chop and mix, stir and taste. Chop and mix, stir and taste. For this thy bounty, we thank you. Veronica . . . Well spoken, Veronica. March 27, 2009 at 8:46 AM. March 27, 2009 at 8:52 AM. This is the most beautiful thing I have read in a long time!

Veronica Mary: Park bench diatribes and roman candles
http://veronicacollins.blogspot.com/2008/10/park-bench-diatribes-and-roman-candles.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2008. Park bench diatribes and roman candles. 8220;Last time I saw Jesus, I was drinking Bloody Mary’s in the South.”. I’ve been taking the headphones of my ipod off more often, recently. It’s amazing what you hear, and strangely enough, what you see, when you aren’t plugged into that song that is plunging you into some internal reverie. Time would fail me to tell of the slim mother and young daughter arms slung around each other as they peered in shop windows, the silver-haired man...
